Former Georgia standout Deandre Baker and ex-Florida defender Quinton Dunbar face charges of armed robbery stemming from a May 13 incident.
Baker was a first-round pick of the New York Giants in the 2019 NFL Draft, but now his future is up in the air as he deals with these allegations.
Below, you can see the statement released by his attorney via Instagram. The statement says there are witness statements that dispute the allegations against Baker:
“I want to thank @miramarpd for being professional in regards to surrendering and issues with the case,” the statement reads. “We understand that the officers can only base warrants on what was told to them at the time. We have had affidavits from several witnesses that also dispute the allegations and exculpate our client. Our investigator has had them for some time. We would have rather presented them to the court at the proper time, rather than in the media, but in this day and age, people rush to judgement. Where some seek publicity, we seek justice. I look forward to moving this case forward to proper conclusion, as we believe our client is innocent of any charges.”
This story is seemingly just getting started. We’ll see what happens next as the case progresses.
